Option B is just plain wrong. Compromising security is not the way to go, even if it lets the laptop connect. Rick should know better than that.

But won't that disrupt the connection to the wireless network?

I think we should reconfigure the WEP key on the laptop to match the one on the WAP.

Haha, poor Rick. Configuring the wrong WEP key is like locking the door and losing the key. Guess he'll have to start over from scratch.

Option D is the correct answer. Without the correct WEP key, the laptop won't be able to connect to the wireless network. Pretty straightforward, really.
